Another great fade-up around 06:10 with positively Russian programming, but
hard to nail exactly the nature, as
Hello 1710 Dxers,
Have this station at S-9+20 db at times with the Palstar preamp tuned to 1710
kHz. Noise level about a S-8 here. Fades to nothing
and rises about every 5 minutes to a decent signal. Hear only on the NW ewe
and not on the N-S slinky or the u-shaped fence antenna.

still on. Briefly at
best level last night, faded at sunrise. Last night the station would rise to

Another fadeup just now, 1323 utc. Poorer peak signal now as daytime signals

Maybe will have to remove turns on my big 6 foot/side LW loop and retune to

IRCA Crew,
This morning @ 0900, while looking to log
WSTK-1400 Jacksonville, I heard what
sounded like WABQ The Promise atop
1400. Black Gospel. Nothing matches,
and an attempt to query FCC's AM
database AM Query proved futile.
Anyone know anything about this?
Is this a new callsign and format
Charlie,
I think I figured out what you heard.
It was probably WA*J*Q licensed to Alma, GA which is N/NW of Waycross. It's
listed as Gospel/Religious.

Currently in broad daylight there is still a strong carrier on 1710 with a
bearing of about 300 degrees (or 120 degrees) from my Puyallup location,
which would place the location exactly in the direction of downtown Tacoma.
Unfortunately, when audio does come up (weakly),

Glad to have you back! Yes, it came in here well at times again last
night. I have 90 minutes on cassette, I can easily dub over to a CD. I
was pretty sure it is Russian. Another possibility would be a Russian

If the Russian station on 1710 was in the Yakima area, your eastern beverage

Thanks for the report. Interesting. No one seems to find a local signal
on this one. I wonder a trip from Centralia to Mt. Vernon would find
it? There may be some small group of Russians in a small town in

Hello All,
Had a chance to investigate the local Tacoma-Puyallup 1710 kHz carrier with
the new 10' box loop here, and it is definitely a spurious mixture of
KIRO-710 and KOMO-1000. It's very weak here in Puyallup on regular receivers
and antennas, though, so it was never detected
My niece in Pullman, WA is driving down here for the holiday weekend either
this evening or Saturday morning. I've asked her to tune to 1710 and check
for the signal--that will cover a few parts of western WA. We hope the
signal is 24/7. If not, how many people are up in the middle of the night

Hi Steve:
Thanks for the link! I gotta say, for a lot more than the Quantum Loop
goes for, it seems that you get less: modest ferrite length, no azimuth
tilt, no Q control, and no external antenna connection. I'm sure it's
built like a tank, though.

Not nearly as good tonight compared to last night here in Victoria.
Hi Walt,
DF and investigation in the south Puget Sound area revealed a previously
unknown mixing product of KIRO-710 and KOMO-1000 right on 1710 kHz, which was
apparently responsible for the very weak audio that Pete and I heard on
the frequency. This very weak spur has nothing to do with
Thanks for the link Steve.
I guess we'll have to wait and see how it performs. In any case I
think it's good they're giving it a go and at least providing more
options for us. Maybe a little feedback will assist in future designs!?!

The 1710 signal is playing what sounds like more contemporary vocal music at
the moment, 0527 utc. Doesn't sound religious, though the words certainly
could be, since they're a foreign language to me. Weak level.
